another federal election

    Canada’s federal finiance Minister Flaherty to unveil budget plan later this month. Given that the little weasel has been wrong on every point to date can we assume that he is right on this one? Not.  It sounds like we’re in for another installment of Grimm’s Fairy Tales, but it will have a happy ending because there’s an election in the wind. The Conservatives in their current incarnation will NEVER get a majority. They’ve moved so far right in the political spectrum that a full 2/3’s of Canada exists on the “Anbody But Conservative”. All as Simple as ABC http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2009/09/04/flaherty-budget-deficit-plan-surplus.html  

Flaherty   responding to the report by parliamentary budget officer Kevin  Page’s predictions too pessimistic Mr. Page is neither pessimistic nor optimistic in his economic forecasts, but honest and more accurate than any other government source. Honesty and accuracy are two qualities sorely lacking in Mr. Flaherty’s predictions. http://www.cbc.ca/money/story/2009/07/09/flaherty-page-budget-pessimistic.html     Democracy, we live in exciting times in Canada  – another federal election.  It is an absolute lie that now that nobody wants an election over Employment Insurance (EI) at least not right now.  Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff’s threat to topple Stephen Harper’s Tories is  now welcome news to many Canadians, even to 2/3 OF PERSONS ON THE NET. Another minority government or not it  really does makes many people happy to see Stephen Harper go out of office next. Harper  this year alone is spending hundreds of millions of dollars of voters’ money during a recession to promote his government  and getting more jobs for his friends and this is totally irresponsible. Maybe PM Stephen Harper  is not  bothered by how he spends our tax payers money, but many Canadians  are bothered by this. Instead of looking after all of the voters, however, Harper has been mostly playing political games still too now and breaking many of his own past promises.  And that is the biggest reason for the Conservatives’ present political malaise in central Canada . During hard economic times such as these, WE ALL DO need,  want a leader who not only understands the wants and needs of all of the people, even the middle class, but also inspires confidence in others by visible his ability to lead this great  country with the right balance of compassion and fiscal responsibility. Harper  NOW CLEARLY DOES NOT have the ability to do this. HARPER  NOW IDENTIFIES WITH THE RICH AND seems the least likely to identify with Canada’s working class. Harper, one would think, would have had  have a better grasp of middle class issues however his religious and personal upbringing have clearly not led him to this. Also, Harper’s control freak tendencies makes it hard, impossible  for him to get along with any others, be they also the voters or those in his own party.  Who needs such a poor leader now? We all need to write to the news editors country wide and say how we really do  support a new federal election. I readily and rightfully do too.     I have lost any confidence rightfully too to believe anything a Conservative minister now says!
